Nicola Pegum, Rosa Ochoa and myself were asked to create a story of the day to be show prior to the Leadership Awards. We used Adobe Premiere elements 7.0 to create a digital story from the images taken throughout the day,  music is a  Creative Commons soundtrack found on the ccmixter music sharing site. It has been exported to mp4 format and vodcast to this episode and will syndicate to you ipod if you wish.

All the sessions were recorded so keep you eye out out here for the podcasts.
